How to Convert Pound-force second/sq. inch to Pound/foot/hour

Converting Pound-force second/sq. inch (lbf·s/in²) to Pound/foot/hour (lb/(ft·h)) is a core calculation in Dynamic Viscosity, which quantifies a fluid's internal tangential resistance to shear deformation and laminar flow. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Pound-force second/sq. inch equals 1.667903 × 10⁷ Pound/foot/hour, while 1 lb/(ft·h) equals 5.995554 × 10⁻⁸ lbf·s/in².

Direct Factor1 lbf·s/in² = 1.667903 × 10⁷ lb/(ft·h)

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (pascal second (Pa·s)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 lbf·s/in² = 6894.757293 pascal second (Pa·s)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 lb/(ft·h) = 0.000413379 pascal second (Pa·s)

Step-by-step substitution for Pound-force second/sq. inch → Pound/foot/hour:V(lb/(ft·h)) = V(lbf·s/in²) × ( 6894.757293 / 0.000413379 ) = V(lbf·s/in²) × 1.667903 × 10⁷

Mathematical FormulaValue in Pound/foot/hour = Value in Pound-force second/sq. inch × 1.66790268 × 10⁷Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 75 lbf·s/in², applying the conversion factor yields exactly 1.250927 × 10⁹ lb/(ft·h). At larger operational scale, 10000 Pound-force second/sq. inch corresponds to 1.667903 × 10¹¹ lb/(ft·h).

Inverse check: 1 lb/(ft·h) = 5.995554 × 10⁻⁸ lbf·s/in².
